Hi I'm thinking of backpacking with my husband and 3 kids was just wondering roughly how much is it a month to do that. And what about the school?

Depending where you go and your spending habits - $50 - $100 - $150 per day should be enough. We have a lot of content on costs in our money category. For education, see the top menu - worldschooling.

Dear Alison and family, Thank you for your great website! It's inspired us lots! We are a family from the UK currently travelling with our 9 year old daughter (we have been to South Africa, Australia, Fiji so far and are in New Zealand now) and we will be in Vietnam for two months starting mid February. Having lived, worked and traveled in Asia on my own for many years (but 13 years ago!) I can't wait to get back to it, although I've never been to Vietnam -- and things have changed!!!! Like you, we want to base ourselves Hoi An for a month or so and were wondering if you can recommend any expat sites for finding more long term accommodation - or if you can recommend any long term accommodation that is not too pricy.
Many thanks for being such an inspiration! Merry Christmas! Marie (and Kiki and Colin)

Ultra niche can work great, if there are enough people to support it. Are there many mid 50s childless, dogless, Nor Cal interested people? This site is huge, very, very - un niche, ( you are not our demographic - so it would appear to most who assume this is a "with kids" site - it's not) niche sites are quicker to gain authority but you have to get the SEO right from day one and be pro-active with gaining backlinks if possible. The only reason I've managed to be so un-niche is because I've created 10-20 posts around each topic or destination, they all support each other. Also you have to provide value. The people wanting to spend money on your affiliate links, book your hotels etc. will be looking for solid information, or, if you're looking to be an influencer, want to follow in your footsteps. Influencer isn't really what we do, although if you look in our scuba diving section we are considered influencers in that area. I don't know - but best of luck to you. Get stuck in. Nothing was ever gained by not trying.

Hi Alyson,
We really love your site. I am very much interested in worldschooling and just getting information about it. I would like to know do you or the kids document your travels like not in the site or blog but on paper, what i mean is that we are planning to go to Jordan. now i would like my kids to learn about the culture, history etc. so after we visit the county do u document in any way.
Thanks

Not in a journaling sort of way, no, because my boys loathed writing on paper with every particle of their souls. From time to time they have created blog posts on places if you find D's author page there are posts on Ancient Egypt, Manta Rays, Thai History, Namche Bazaar. Maybe more, I can't remember. Funny thing is now, he does Open University, he'll write pages and pages of notes for his own use, but as kids they both hated it. No, I've never ( once I realised how pointless it was) forced them to do stuff they didn't want to do, it's proved unnecessary. Boo had ( actually still has) his own website. It's called Boy Around the World but he hasn't touched it in years. He did that for fun, he was convinced it would make him money and he loved watching his daily stats. I think he was 7. These days he's busy chasing YouTube stats on his channel. D makes all the videos on the site and is co-writer and creator, accompanying me on business trips and tours for third parties. It all worked out pretty well! They will learn what they need to learn when they want or need to learn it. The structure and busy work of schools isn't how it should be. It took me a few years to figure that out too!

Hi, my wife and I love your videos. We started traveling full time about 3 months ago with our 12 year old daughter. Our biggest struggle is getting our daughter socially interacted. We are currently in Rome and are heading to Germany soon. Would you happen to know how to connect with other like minded travelers with kids? I would love to find another couple who could have the means and can travel with us. I was hoping you had some resources.
Thanks for your time!

Hi there, no, not really, sorry. We always stay in guest houses or hotels with common areas, restaurants, bars, to hang out, there are usually plenty of human beings around. We actually don't go in for arranged meet ups, rarely. People contact us all the time if we're based in one place for a while but we don't find we need that level of social interaction, we're more than happy just doing us. We like to keep very busy though, we don't spend time hanging about much. As a very happy introvert I'm not the best person to talk to sorry. The kids talk to people online constantly. As soon as we've got some down time they're chatting on the internet through gaming, streaming, YouTubers etc. More and more we're doing group tours and activities, for instance Bhutan, Tibet and Borneo. One of the kids enjoys meeting people that way Trekking or anything physical is great for my son, walking with people is a good way to chat. Just remember that you won't like some of the people you meet and will have almost zero in common, but that's great for the kids too, learning what they like and dislike in people and how to handle them. You need a few days with other people to get to know them at all, so longer term co-travelling is better. Europe is different though, I don't think it really has the same backpacker vibe and circuit as Asia. Try our private Facebook Group, Living Differently, a few thousand travellers in there.
